Bishkek

Its length is 375 kilometers and it extends from the Boom Gorge to the Talas region. The highest point of the ridge (4875 meters) is the Semenov-Tian-Shansky Peak.

The upper part (southern) is located near the mountains, the lower (northern) lies near the border with Kazakhstan. The top side is the most environmentally friendly. Basically, life is concentrated below.
